Chvátal's Condition is a sufficient condition for a spanning cycle in an n-vertex graph. The condition is that when the vertex degrees are d₁, ...,dₙ in nondecreasing order, i n/2 implies that d_i > i or d_n-i ≥ n-i. We prove that this condition cannot hold in both a graph and its complement, and we raise the problem of finding its asymptotic probability in the random graph with edge probability 1/2.
Keywords: Hamiltonian cycle, Chvátal's Condition, random graph
